Summary
Mike Andrews is a systems-oriented AI and applied-research leader with 21 years of experience translating novel ideas into production-grade systems, products, and startups. As President of his own consulting and prototyping firm he blends investing, hands-on engineering, and experimentation across domains from healthcare data anonymization to ad-fraud and real-time bidding. His background spans physics-driven innovation at Bell Labs and MIT training to building patent-pending ML systems and a company exit, showing a rare mix of deep theory and product execution. He has led data science teams at large enterprises and startups, shipping scalable ML platforms for commercial real estate, HR automation, and personalization at scale. Known for finding billion-dollar opportunities (and candid about the ones that slipped away), he prioritizes rapid prototyping and real-world validation over academic purity. Based in New Jersey, Mike combines quantitative rigor with a contrarian, hands-on approach to uncovering practical leverage in complex systems.
